Tactics Enfield ballscreen spacing
| 1 Andy Enfield
Ballscreen breakdowns to work on spacing. The strong-side corner is filled (corner filled).
See Quick hitters - Enfield ballscreens.
a) 4-man lifted
Lift 4, 5 sets a side ballscreen, 3 comes off, 5 goes to the rim, 2 fills behind. 5 can reverse pivot or forward pivot, but has to be at the rim in three steps (he has to sprint), and posts on a throw-back to 2.
Many teams like to sag the opposite big to help on the roll man, but here X4 can't help on the roll if 4 can shoot, help has to come from X2 (leaving 2 open). |
| 2 b) 4-man as a duck-in
4 is not necessarily a three-point shooter, 3 hits the duck-in if X4 helps on the roll.
4 puts his hips and legs on his defender and seals (Enfield shows a two-step step-through, L-R).
|
| 3 c) 4-man corner
4 is in the weakside corner, takes one step towards the ball and runs to the rim for a lob, pointing.
This is what 4 does from the corner on a middle drive, see Tactics - Enfield penetrate-kick spacing.
|
| 4 d) 4-man as the fill guy
4 is in the ballside corner and fills behind the ballscreen, extremely hard to guard if he has some skill. Help on the roll has to come from X2 or X4.
|
| 5 e) 4-man sets the ballscreen
You may prefer to have 5 duck in instead of 4.
Whenever the corner is filled, 4 rolls to the rim, they have 4 pop when the corner is open.
